As the Mexican team lost 3-1 to Argentina in the World Cup octo-finals in South Africa, Miguel Gómez Mont, the head of the Mexican Tourism Investment Fund (Fonatur) and brother of Government Secretary Fernando Gómez Mont, started harassing and fighting with the wife of one of the Mexican team’s players. The visibly drunk Gómez Mont was removed by the South African police. The incident took place in the boxes reserved for the Mexican Football Federation, for VIPs and friends and families of the players. The Ministry of Tourism issued a statement saying that Gómez Mont had been retired and a new head of Fonatur would be named soon. (Reforma 6/28)
